I first heard of Metalworks from a couple of it’s guest artistes, Gus Macricostas and Luka ‘Twitch’ Ravase, both of whom I met when they were appearing in in Prezence. As far as I can make out, Metalworks are a sort of house band who appear regularly on Sundays at The Monarch in Camden, augmented by several guests throughout the evening.

I first went along towards the end of March 2014, and was hooked. A great way to end any weekend.

As I said, my first visit to The Monarch was to see Metalworks, for a great evening of hard rock - played for fun in front of a very enthusiastic audience. (14/036, Sunday 30th March 2014)

For my second visit to The Monarch, Metalworks were supported by Uncle Rust, who included Justin McConville from the Heavy Metal Kids, whom I had first met in The Riga Musicbar in southend, and P.J. Phillips, whom I first met in The Purple Turtle with Bucket & Co. Again, the audience was most enthusiastic. (14/045, Sunday 27th April 2014)

The Monarch was again the venue for a visit from Metalworks. This time, they were supported by Mini Cooper. (15/013, Sunday 1st February 2015)

Metalworks continue their ‘residency’ at The Monarch. (15/038, Sunday 5th April 2015)
